The Dream

Well- I had a dream [who doesn't ]. But I had it during my afternoon nap. Exactly that narrows it down.

I recollect it vividly- that sure still further narrows it.

It goes like this

I was in my old dwelling at Matunga [ where I stayed for 65 years of my life- now that it has gone into redevelopment- I stay at another place ]. Somehow  strange though it may seem and although I have shifted to  new premises- all my dreams regarding the house are centered around my old home.

Coming to brass tacks

Narendra Modi- came to the building. Some kid from the building, came to my house to tell me that someone was in the Chowk [ the open space between our two buildings ]- asking for me.

I immediately came out and was astounded to see the Prime Minister. I shook hands with him and the first thing I asked him was that how come h was here- when I saw him in Australia on T V.

He replied- even Hitler had duplicates and thus was seen in many places.

I asked him if he was real or the T V personality. He replied that Australia was fake - and his visit  here was real [ ludicrous].

I asked him the purpose of this unexpected visit. He replied that he just wanted to meet me, after all my diatribe on face book about the previous government- which he was reading regularly [ now that's a foolish fantasy- why should he read my posts ????????????? ].

I asked him why the S P G was not with him. He said that it was all on the other side of the Western Express Highway. I told him that it was wrong to move without any security. I also told him that I was worried from May 16- when he won the elections and the required security was not provided to him immediately. I also told him that I thought it was a conspiracy then and was afraid that something untoward may happen before May 26 [the day he was sworn and came to be protected by the elite group ].

After waving to the building people- we started walking towards Bandra. However the road was not S B Marg [ Tulsi Pipe Road ] but a narrow lane- like the one which exists at Santa Cruz [west] Railway Colony. He shook hands with a few while continuing discussions with me [when I think over of the topics we discussed- which are privy- I wondered- why should he have discussed them with me - someone who was totally a non-entity and not at all well-versed with the subjects- but again that is what dreams are made of- FANTASY- all in capital letters  ].

When we reached that dream Bandra- he started walking back again towards Mahim- and suddenly within a few minutes his guards arrived.

He just waved a good-bye and went away.

This was the dream.

Now I am not going to share the things, we talked about, although I remember clearly what we discussed- simply because I cannot corroborate   and thus it remains with me.

I hope none have such dream and even if they do- at least not remember it with such clarity
